Zerohedge ^

Posted on 10/10/2013 3:32:28 PM PDT by thought

S&P futures are now over 15 points off the day's highs, as it seems equity investors were hoping for a Cumbaya moment after the White House meeting today. However, as Bloomberg reports,

•*BOEHNER LEAVES OBAMA MEETING WITHOUT SPEAKING TO REPORTERS •*REPUBLICANS LEAVE WHITE HOUSE WITHOUT MAKING STATEMENT •*OBAMA REJECTS REPUBLICAN PROPOSAL FOR SHORT-TERM PLAN: NYT It would seem that Obama's "unconditional surrender or default" position has merely placed the pressure to act back on Boehner's shoulders.

Yes it does.

For the Dems, compromise means the Republicans have to give in.

What do the Republicans get? A shaft up their re*rs.

I think it was Putin that said negotiating with obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. He struts all over the board like he owns it while knocking over the pieces, craps all over the board, and then flies away like he won.

“Doesn’t make sense.”

It does if you understand just how powerful propaganda from an incredibly biased media can be., Like the NBC Evening News fear-mongering “Blame The REPUBLICANS!!!” lead I just watched.

However, very few in today’s America even know what the word “propaganda” means.

Don’t get your hopes up. Brett Baier said that Obama did not reject the offer outright, he just wants the Republicans to show progress (cave) on the CR.

Then Boehner should define "progress" as demanding that Reid pass a Senate budget so that they can abandon the CR's and return to regular order.

That should be the House's final line in the sand.

Put it on Reid's shoulders. Senate budget and regular order or nothing.

Reid said “It won’t happen”. This proves obama takes his marching orders from someone else. Reid is the messenger. I assume the republicans know this which means when they talk to obama all they do is ask “So, what did Reid say?”

The GOP should tell the world that they tried and obama won’t budge. Then just walk away. They should say they’ve got to get to the banks and withdraw all their money and buy gold. Gold is the only thing that will be of value when the democrats are finished.

I doubt this is a wrap as reported here....Boehner would have gone straight to the mike if it was a no go...the fact he didn’t talk to the media says he has to go back to the others with what he’s got.

We”ve been down that road many times....but it’s very clear the President is not leading....why would he...he’s pretty much handed the wand to Reid.
